Firefox as a GTK application uses gconf and gnome-vfs to get the information what to launch. On my 10.2 system it tries to open purple-url-handler which seems to be "correct". So either modify the gconf setting for the irc protocol or create the pref network.protocol-handler.external.irc and specify a graphical IRC application via about:config or manually in your FF profile. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It should really be a blocker and not wait for upstream.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299591#c6 --- Comment #6 from Wolfgang Rosenauer 2007-09-18 00:46:35 MST --- There was a should_go_upstream flag w/o any information in this bug? What's the underlying issue? Has anyone even tried? I just did and found that pidgin refuses to do anything if no IRC account is configured or if pidgin is not running at all. So the basic analysis of that bug is that pidgin (aka purple-url-handler) is not suited as a generic url handler at the moment IMHO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
